Since this popular lens has been offered, yet not enough interest to drop, can we request something similar?
Please get us a drop for the Panasonic 35-100mm f/2.8 Power OIS LUMIX G X VARIO. Thank you.
Common massdrop, just a little lower, $1280 for a grey market, ebay is at that or even slightly lower. If it wasnt a international spec lens then it would be fine, but since it is, just push it a little lower and ill bite.
Why not go for the new Panasonic Leica 50-200mm f2.8-4.0? Its newer, not as heavy as the 100-400mm and is even a tad sharper and should focus faster if i can believe the reviews on youtube. It has a reach that is half of the 100-400mm but for most people that is enough i think. If you want a longer reach you can put the 1.4 teleconverter on it. It becomes than a 560 equivalent zoomlens instead of 400 mm equivalent.
Nasty87MFT sensor allows for significantly smaller, lighter lenses at lower costs. Try lugging an 800mm ff equiv lens around; try using such a behemoth w/o a tripod. MFT is, in fact, the ideal format for long-reach lenses. The price on this drop is fair (though certainly not great); the issue I have is the ship date isn't until early/mid May.
Nasty87The portability of quite reasonable zoom lenses is actually a very attractive part of the m4/3'ds format. That said, when you get into the more pro glass I think the trade offs start looking worse as the lens weight goes up. I think something like the Panasonic 100-300mm II might not be as nice glass-wise, but is maybe preferable from a portability standpoint.
Massdrop, this really needs to come down in price. You've offered this drop several times now and I don't think I've seen it actually go through once. I would be in if the price came closer to the $1000 mark. Like others have said, I can get this off amazon for slightly more than the $1300 you guys are asking for.
NoFalconI agree!!! I'd purchase this lens if it were $1100.00 or less. I saw it for $1100.00 last Xmas on ebay offered by a HK merchant. AT that price I would have bought it , unfortunately at that time of year I had other financial obligations.
BT476.3 at the equivalent 800mm? Marginal? The Nikon 800 prime is 5.6 so thats less than a stop better but also costs 13 thousand dollars. This is a pretty spectacular lens all things considered. And yes, you are better off buying elsewhere since it's gray market and without warranty.
